Bayport Corner

Bayport doesn't really have a "town" area, but down at the end of Bayport Ave where it meets Middle Road has a few stores. I used to get my hair cut over there. I like to do street views in the small towns here.

View Up Middle Road

Yesterday our forecast was for snow in the afternoon so I went out fairly early to sketch something before the "storm" came. I sat in a parking lot in Sayville along Middle Road to paint this view heading from Sayville to Bayport. Of course it started snowing lightly while I was painting so the wipers had to keep being turned on to clear the windshield. Right here I don't think we got more than an inch of snow...just enough to make things wet and sloppy. This morning almost all of it was gone except for areas that were really in shade.

I was looking for a place to sketch from the car yesterday seeing how our "spring" isn't warm enough to sit out yet. I drove over to Blue Point right near Flo's Luncheonette. Across Middle Road is a little park near one of the canals. I decided to sketch this boathouse...it looks like it needs a bit of love.
This is about 4 x 6 and was done in my Stillman & Birn Alpha Journal.
